For each benchmark metric, you’ll see three numbers that compare your store to stores like yours. These numbers are: median, 25th percentile, and 75th percentile. These values are available at a daily time grain and are only available at the aggregate level (i.e., your overall online store conversion is available, but not conversion by channel or any other dimension); the exception is the customer retention rate which is available at a weekly, monthly and quarterly grain.

Term Definition
Median The value that represents the midpoint of stores similar to you (i.e., 50% of stores have a higher value and 50% have a lower value than the median).
25th percentile The value that represents the 25th percentile of stores similar to you (i.e., 75% of stores have a higher value).
75th percentile The value that represents the 75th percentile of stores similar to you (i.e., 25% of stores have a higher value).

How are benchmarks calculated?

Benchmarks are created based on cohorts of stores similar to yours. The following factors are considered in defining similarity:

  1. Order volume;
  2. Primary market country; and
  3. The categories of the products sold over the past 30 days.

Who qualifies for benchmarks?

You will see the benchmark metric(s) for your store if the following conditions apply:

  1. You have sold at least 1 product in the last 30 days with an assigned product category (product category is used as an input to determine your benchmark cohort).
  2. There are enough similar stores in your benchmark cohort to provide a meaningful benchmark. You may not see a benchmark if there isn’t a sufficient number of stores similar to yours (determined by order volume and the primary market country of your business).
